I use online books#
On top of the obvious advantages of owing a website to share science, there is multiple benefits arising from the building method itself
Notebook#
Fitted for My Needs
I have Limitations with hand written notebooks ✍
Limited inputs
Only text notes are available (sorry for stating the obvious), however a whole diversity of content is now generated: videos, podcasts, websites … It is impossible to refer to the wide variety of content available within a written notebook.
1 Dimension
A written notebook is unidimensional, one entry after the other
Inadapted for online content
No ability to save links towards ressources along with notes
No iterative implementation
blabla
No compartimentation
blabla
Constant formatting
Hard to maintain and keep consistent over time
Finite lifetime

and found no bespoke alternative, so I designed my own
Solution
Markdown 
+ Jupyter Lab 
= Jupyter Book 
All kind of inputs
Only text notes are available (sorry for stating the obvious), however a whole diversity of content is now generated: videos, podcasts, websites … It is impossible to refer to the wide variety of content available within a written notebook.
Multiple outputs
pdf and html
All in one software
Python notebook and Markdown notebook using the same software
Fitted for scientific writing
Bibliography
References
Figures
Tables
Equations
Links and hyperlink …

Iterative implementation
Write as you go along they said … It will be fun they said …
Allow Feedback
Work is publishable as you go along (or not), and you can get feedback at every steps during your scientific journey.
Consistant formatting
Hard to maintain and keep consistent over time
infinite lifetime

Transferable / Recyclable
Recycle your talks ! Put them online and give them a quick twist to fit a wider audience.
Semantic Web compatible

Markdown vs Latex or Word ?
Result
Multiple research compendiums organised in a Knowledge Base
Iterative workflow 
Infinite lifetime 
A method 
that works for me, and that I am happy 😁 to use !!
Edition#
I am in charge
My own style, my own rules: open to experiment and innovation 
Scientist are already in charge of the edition burden of their work, by using latex template to fit the journal format requirements. Those requirements are based upon print publication, even though most of the content is read online. As a result we are constrained by unnecessary guidelines.
Freedom
Versatile Canvas
I can do much (much) more than what is allowed by a paper based model of publication

I mean, c'mon ...
I have always been frustrated by the fact that I could never play with the edition aspect of every piece of science I have been writimg. All the time I had to obey to a certain template that I never found appealing to me. Owing my own web-site give me the opportunity to be an integrant part of the edition process as it clearly is an editorial sandbox.

I am the owner of my work, and hence don't have to scatter it around
